Assassination career from full level

The holy city of Selman, the Golden Palace of Eisley, between the thrones.

"His Majesty the Pope~"

A little girl with purple eyes emerged from the back of the throne chair. The little girl's name was Elizabeth. Like the Messiah, she was also a member of the seventh column of the Knights of the Church. The Chimera created by Slass, she loves and is loyal to the Pope like other Chimeras, but she doesn't like the name very much. When introducing herself, she often calls herself Elizabeth. It is said that such a name makes her Sounds more like a princess from some southern country.

Although no princess of any country will have evil purple eyes.

"What's wrong?" the pope asked casually.

"The Talos monkey has returned." Elizabeth was like a cat, with her stomach pressed against the back of the throne, her feet dangling in the air: "My lord bishop and those bounty hunters have arrived. The bottom of Flanders is at the bottom, won’t His Majesty go there? Doesn’t His Majesty have something in Ingram’s hands? It will be taken away by Xiao Yao?”

"Don't panic."

"But, have they reached the bottom? Just open a door and you'll be in the sacrificial hall of those baroque mages? Ingram is in the sacrificial hall now, right?"

"Maybe it's time for you Chimeras to learn magic too," Vislas closed the book casually, "For magicians, the physical distance in space is meaningless. The whole universe is far away from south to north."

"Where is this..."

"If you want to ask about the location, I can answer you," Benjamin shrugged, and said to Gretel who asked the question: "This is the Aisley Golden Palace that should have been in the holy city of Selman, even if it wasn't in Selman. , and it will never be underground like Flanders."

This is the scene that appeared after Gretel and his group pushed open the door leading to the 800-person hall that was said to be used for sacrifices. Although they wanted to go back to confirm the door, behind them, the stone door had become It became the gilded and carved door at the entrance to Ashley's Golden Palace, and it was immobile, unable to be pushed open.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Golden Palace is the center of the entire South. In later history, it was also unanimously evaluated by historians as the most typical representative of extravagance and lust in the entire aristocratic era after the Second Holy War. Speaking of architecture, it is more like a work of art. The entire palace is just like its name, a palace cast in gold. The halls, corridors, ceilings, walls, and even statues of the palace are all gold-plated, or even pure. Gold, although different places have their own styles, but all of them are mainly gold. The inlaid gems are rare from various countries in Delphi, China, and even the crown on the king's head. It is said that the Golden Palace is because of The reason for the peeling of gold, the air is full of gold dust, is worthy of the name, every breath of air is money, so that every person who is lucky enough to visit the Golden Palace, the first thing he does is to take a deep breath , Taste the taste of the most precious air in Delphi.

And Gretel and his party, in this luxurious palace that had nothing to do with them no matter how you look at it, breathe every mouthful of golden air. Except for two orcs, Claire and Ur, who sneezed twice in a row, the others People don't seem to have any special reaction to this golden air.

"Is this...an illusion?" Hansel said, looking at Isis who knew the most about illusion in the team.

Isis finally came back to his senses under Hansel's questioning, rubbed his eyes that were almost blinded by gold, and said, "It's hard to say, when I was studying on the other side of the gods, there was a saying called 'Magic by Heart-born', all illusions are unfolded in the heart of the person who suffers the illusion. Except for the person who suffers the illusion, everything he sees is an illusion. In other words, illusion is a technique that can only be performed on a single individual Of course, theoretically speaking, illusionists can draw multiple people into the same illusion at the same time, but there is no need to do so. When one is alone, the human mind will become fragile, and the illusion can play a better role. If many people are in the illusion created by the same caster, the intersection of mind and mind will create changes that the creator of the illusion cannot grasp and predict, and it is not a simple addition or subtraction, but an unimaginable order of magnitude of madness Rising, unless one has the calculation ability like Xiaoyao, for ordinary illusionists, there are so many people in the same illusion, I am afraid that we only need to do an action, say a word, as long as the mind can receive and transmit it and cause mutation information, the entire illusion will collapse.”

"But it didn't collapse." Hansel sighed as he looked at Sade who was riding on Ur, touching left and right. He heard that the tree elves had a natural love for things that could shine. We saw them today. Sure enough.

"Let's assume for the time being that Ingram has the calculation ability like Xiaoyao, and dragged all of us into the illusion." Katerina spoke next: "But even so, there is still a problem with this illusion. Why? Is it the Golden Palace? Even people like me who have never studied illusions know that one of the conditions necessary for unfolding illusions is that the scenes presented in the illusions must be familiar or impressive to the illusionist, but most of us No one has ever been to the Golden Palace, right?"

"In fact, it's more than that. The moment we realize that this is an illusion, this illusion should have been unstable. Therefore, although I don't want to admit it, this is not an illusion." Isis said.

"Then are we really in the Golden Palace in the holy city of Selman?" Gretel asked.

Benjamin: "No, although it is not an illusion, we did not physically appear in the Golden Palace. On the one hand, it is impossible for there to be no one in the Golden Palace. On the other hand, although it is indeed the Golden Palace Wrong, but there are some subtle differences from the Golden Palace, to be precise, this should be the Golden Palace ten years ago, or earlier."

"Have we returned to the old Golden Palace?"

"Mei Guli, "Time and the Irreversibility of Time," Benjamin announced the title of the book: "Isn't this a compulsory book for your magic school? We may stop time, but we can never go back in time."

"I'm sorry..." Gretel, who had graduated seven years ago, apologized like a freshman, looking a little pitiful.

"Creator, where are we? It is neither a fantasy nor a reality, but it has not returned to the past? Then where are we? And Drizzt! Don't take the opportunity to sneak my tail!" Claire said to and Drizzt bared the bestial fangs.

Isis remained silent. She seemed to have a vague idea about this situation. It was neither an illusion, but it was also something that did not exist. This thing was not affected by the interaction between the participants' minds, and it could achieve the effect of going back in time.

"Isis."

Isis raised her head when Hansel called her name, and Hansel stared at Thad who was trying to break a golden ball out of the goddess's hand, and said, "Do you think we are The place, does it look like a memory?"

Isis was taken aback, countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and he snapped his fingers crisply, and Isis said excitedly: "Yes, this is it, this is not an illusion, because it has a definite shape and is an objective existence. So it is not affected by the intersection of our minds, and memories are things that happen too, so there will be an illusion of time going back. Yes, this is Ingram’s memories, which is the so-called mental imagery! I am in God I saw this magic in the book on the other side!"

"You haven't learned?" Katerina asked.

Isis shook his head: "In fact, this magic is the reverse use of illusion. Illusion is to create illusions in other people's minds to trap others, and mind imagery is to use one's own mind and memories to trap others. However, a People may be immersed in their own sorrow, but it is difficult to understand the fear of others. Sadness and joy in the world are not interlinked, so even if you develop your own mental image as a barrier, if others don't understand, there is no such barrier at all. Of any use, unless... the memory is about primal fear."

"Primitive fear? I've heard this term before. Does it refer to pain and death?" Cecil, who had been listening all this time, suddenly asked.

"Almost, but the magic of mental imagery is too rare. On the one hand, the caster may not have the memory of the scene of near death or despair to present. Second, even if there is, many casters themselves are unwilling to recall it. Get up. I saw this magic because of a person named Rihanna in the history of the other side of the gods. She had been burned and festered all over her body, but she survived and came to the other side of the gods. Her magic is based on The mind image is mainly manifested, and those who are locked into the mind image by her have suffered from the fire in her memory, and the more painful her memories are, the greater the fear that the people locked into the mind image will experience. In order to strengthen The lethality of the mental image hinted at herself, and she kept recalling her pain, and finally drove herself to a dead end, and she committed suicide." Isis held her forehead with some strength, and sighed: "After that, the God of God The other side is no longer teaching mind imagery. Only students who have graduated and are allowed to stay on the other side of God have the opportunity to touch the magic of mind imagery. This is a prison piled up with the fear and hatred of the caster himself, no matter which one is missing , it is impossible for the mental image to manifest successfully."

"But... Ingram was only three to four years old when he stayed in the Golden Palace. He is the son of the Pope, and he is a talented magician. The Golden Palace is full of people who respect him. What is he afraid of? In the end, whether he has primitive fear or not is a question, right?" Drizzt said in a slightly mocking tone.

"As long as it is a living thing, it will feel pain and fear." Isis corrected.

"So, next," Hansel looked at Benjamin: "At that time, what happened to Ingram in the Golden Palace?"

"I don't know," Benjamin shrugged. "I can't follow him every day and watch what he does. I'm not a maid in the Golden Palace. Besides, children have free space, right? Maybe he's alone What terrible thing happened?"

"We have not yet entered the center, but we have already fallen into the unknown primitive fear."

Gretel couldn't help but glanced at the ceiling, and suddenly found something, and looked around, only to find that the originally noisy surroundings had become quiet, Gretel shrank his pupils, and said in a trembling voice.

"Thad...Thad and Ur are gone!"

"Disappeared?" Katerina raised her voice slightly because of surprise.

Everyone looked at the golden ball that Thade and Ur were trying to take down just now. At this time, the golden ball fell to the ground at some point and rolled to Hansel's feet. Hansel used his feet Catch the rolling golden ball and pick it up.

"Maybe they went deep?" Cecil asked relaxedly, looking less nervous.

"In that case why not take the golden ball?" said Katerina.

"Hansel," Gretel looked at Hansel who was in a daze holding the golden ball, and raised his voice: "Hansel!"

Hansel glanced at Gretel: "Are you scared?"

"I, I didn't!"

"Really?" Hansel threw the golden ball in his hand and said, "Then let's go inside and see what that Ingram is afraid of."
